Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Ralph Shirley
1 September [1913]
Dear Shirley,
I have just got back from Moscow where I have had a great time. Of course quite overwhelmed with the preparation of [Equinox] No. X. I will send you a copy of every advertisement in the course of a few days. Can you let me have the copy for your advertisement if possible within 24 hours. I am sending you a proof of the 'Key of the Mysteries' as I am afraid I shall not be able to let you have an Equinox in time, and I should feel very much obliged if you would give yourself the trouble of reading it and either writing an article on it or at least making an extended editorial reference. It is to my mind by far the most exalted and convincing work of Levi's [Eliphas Levi]. Such passages as the one with regard to the Spirit of Charity and his description of the Catholicism of the future beginning on p 72 have to my mind few rivals in French literature. I am anxious to see you and have a long talk as soon as may be. Perhaps you will have dinner with me one evening. At present I am quite free any night but Sunday, when we begin once more with the [Mass of the] Phoenix.
Yours ever.
